Talk:Arab Chileans

nix to national flags
The use of national flags in the infobox is contrary to guidelines/policy/MOS. For one thing in this case, if any national flag were to be present it might be that of the Ottoman Empire, not the modern Syrian state; and "Syria" in the pre-WWI conceptualization also included Lebanon/Israel-Palestine and Jordan; and the modern flag is for a decidedly Islamic/Arab state and has little connection to the Christian exiles of the Syriac and Catholic churches....Skookum1 (talk) 19:54, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Merge
The Arabs of Chile almost all trace their ancestry to immigrants form the early years of the 20th century. They are overwhelmingly Chiristians  who immigrated to Chile before the modern national identities of Lebanese, palestinian and Syrian were invented. Once in Chile, they all married one another, and, of course, other Chilean Christians. It makes sense to treat them as a group. Historicist (talk) 22:55, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Support merge Given the common background and the fragmented language of the article, a merge would be a step forward. Alansohn (talk) 00:06, 25 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I have completed the merge, this is similar to:
 * Basque Chilean
 * Greeks in Chile
 * British Chilean
 * German Chilean
 * French Chilean
 * Arab diaspora
 * Arab Brazilian
 * Arab Argentine
 * Arab Mexican16:49, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Population
A properly -sourced number would be useful. Unsourced guesses are not acceptable on Wikipedia. Blogs are not proper sources.Historicist (talk) 11:41, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Arab Chileans and Palestinian Chileans
The Palestinian Chileans are so many that when spaeking about Arab-Chileans 90% of them must be Palestinians, and therefore should Palestinian-Chilean have their own article. when enought information is gathered about Syrian Chileans and other Arab-Chilean groups they should get their own article. To identify people as Arab-Chilean and British-Chilean seems to be a wikipedia invention. Dentren |  Ta lk  11:27, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Copy-editing or downsizing the section on CorpGroup?
Hi! Spurred by the copy-edit drive of september 2022 I am working on this article which seems to have had many contributors, leading to problems of structure, scope and style. In particular the subsection that I have named CorpGroup is long-winded, poorly sourced, machine-translated, incomprehensible and out-dated. I particularly liked the translation of Bolsa (Stock Exchange) to "bag". Anyway, I propose to cut it down to a size fitting the purpose and scope of the article instead of copy-editing and updating the whole lot. Maybe nobody will read this anytime soon, but just in case, I´ll leave the article as is for a few days to see if I get comments or suggestions and then just carry out the plan and apply scissors. And I´ll leave this comment on the talk page so future readers understand what happened. Ruud Buitelaar (talk) 02:06, 17 September 2022 (UTC)


 * So I trimmed the CorpGroup section down, especially since I saw this article: EyN: Las "Diez Mezquitas" aumentan sus negocios y traspasan el manejo de las fortunas a sus hijos (economiaynegocios.cl) which contains phrases that appear literally in this Wikipedia article, constituting copyvio. I also re-organized the lede and tried to make the article more readable.  Ruud Buitelaar (talk) 02:32, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
